About the Flint Hills Beef Fest

The Flint Hills Beef Fest is a non-profit organization that is led by a group of volunteers who care deeply about the beef industry and promoting the grass cattle industry for which the Flint Hills is known. As one of the last remaining native tall grass prairie's in America, cattlemen have preserved and continue to preserve this beautiful country through cattle grazing management.
